Their East Lyme Libation (Dunkelweizen) and Conplan 8888 Hull Melon Pilsner Czech are real fine brews!
“Niantic Public House Brewery has been an excellent addition to Niantic. I want to try their Lemon Sunshine, which is actually a sour IPA.” “And I'm happy to have recently discovered Myrcene Ale Company in Old Saybrook. That's a combination of liking the brew and (the can design). I’m very fond of that brewery … Another beer I like is Kraken Baltic Porter from Thimble Islands in Branford. That said, since recently developing a taste for bitter (IPA) and sour, I've unfortunately ignored the other lighter (both flavor and color) possibilities - only occasionally trying a porter or stout.įor some specifics, though, the Nettles Farmhouse Ale Fox Farm Brewery in Salem is very good.
